How to get to Zadar from the US
Fly from the US to a European hub, then take a second flight to Zadar. Pick a hub from the list above, then check which airlines fly onward on the airport’s flight list.
- Book one ticket for the whole journey if you can, so the airline rebooks you if your first flight is late.
- Flights from other Schengen countries are treated as domestic in Croatia, so you normally clear passport control at your first Schengen airport, not on arrival. Confirm with your airline. EU Entry/Exit System enrollment can add time there.
- If you change airports in London, leave extra time.
- Don’t book a tight boat on arrival day. A connection can delay you and your bags.
If your dates do not fit a Zadar connection, flying to Split has a summer nonstop. Wayfa does not cover getting from Split to Zadar.
Before you fly, read entering Croatia as a US citizen.
